Stellar Transformation-Chapter 518: Season 15, Episode 27: Poison Soul Hook

The leader of the Black Dragon Pond, "Lord Black Dragon," had long since disappeared, and normally the entire Black Dragon Pond was governed by three Heavenly Gods, among whom only Xiong Hei possessed a Low Grade Heavenly Divine Weapon, while the other two didn’t possess any Heavenly Divine Weapons. Usually, Mei Ji and Liu Xu also envied Xiong Hei for having a Heavenly Divine Artifact.

In the eyes of everyone at Black Dragon Pond, Heavenly Divine Artifacts were indestructible!

But today, in front of tens of thousands of people, that indestructible Low Grade Heavenly Divine Weapon, the Wolf Fang Club "Mountain Breaker," was cut into two halves by that red long sword.

A nearly one-meter long piece fell to the ground, as though it had struck Xiong Hei’s heart.

"How is this possible?" Xiong Hei was completely stunned, his face deathly pale.

Originally intending to surround and attack Qin Yu, Daoist Liu Xu and Mei Ji suddenly stopped, flying to Xiong Hei’s side. Both of them looked at the Red Blood Divine Sword in Qin Yu’s hand, their eyes filled with shock and horror!

They were frightened.

The entire "Black Dragon Pond" canyon fell silent for a while, then suddenly erupted with noise like thunder, all the people becoming excited, their gazes intensely focused on the Red Blood Divine Sword in Qin Yu’s hand.

"To cut through a Heavenly Divine Weapon, there must only be an even more powerful Heavenly Divine Artifact!" the Divine Beings below discussed amongst themselves.

These Divine Beings only knew that Heavenly Divine Artifacts were the most powerful. Given their status, they simply didn’t qualify to know about the existence of... Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures. So, they concluded that the Red Blood Divine Sword in Qin Yu’s hand was a Heavenly Divine Artifact more powerful than the Wolf Fang Club "Mountain Breaker."

×××××

The gale howled through the canyon, Qin Yu’s long hair fluttering in the wind, holding the Red Blood Divine Sword, Qin Yu looked at the three people in front of him.

"Are you afraid?" Qin Yu said with a faint smile.

Daoist Liu Xu and Mei Ji both looked at Qin Yu and the Red Blood Divine Sword with eyes full of shock and fear, and as for Xiong Hei, he was trembling slightly, staring at the Wolf Fang Club in his hands that was now shortened by a segment.

The damaged Wolf Fang Club’s power had greatly diminished. But even just in terms of power, it was still stronger than an Upper Grade Divine Artifact.

"If you don’t make a move, I will," Qin Yu said, holding the Red Blood Divine Sword with one hand, when suddenly the surface of the Red Blood Divine Sword burst into a layer of white flames, as a Fire Attribute Heavenly Divine Artifact, it could use fire to attack others.

Seeing the White Pure Fire, Mei Ji and the others trembled in their hearts again.

The tens of thousands of people below held their breath again; this was a battle they would be proud to boast about to others in the future, even if they were just watching from the sidelines.

"Mei Ji, Liu Xu, let’s go all out, with full force. Mei Ji... Now we can only count on your move to succeed; if it doesn’t, we’ll have to go against Lord Black Dragon’s orders," Xiong Hei transmitted his Divine Sense.

Daoist Liu Xu and Mei Ji both nodded.

They didn’t want to call on Lord Black Dragon unless it was absolutely necessary because to contact Lord Black Dragon, they must use a specific moment. Disturbing him abruptly now would provoke Lord Black Dragon’s wrath, which would be more than they could bear.

Mei Ji and Daoist Liu Xu’s figures suddenly moved, spreading apart naturally like the wings of a butterfly. Both of them immediately emanated a green light all over their bodies.

"Yaaah~~~"

A roar of rage, Xiong Hei’s muscles swelled suddenly, "hiss hiss~~~" sounds continuously emanating as his muscles expanded two to three times, blood-red and engorged, and his bones also emitted a grating sound.

His body slowly elongated, muscles swelled, and Xiong Hei howled as tears appeared at the corners of his eyes, veins on his face moving like green snakes, completely protruding.

"Everyone’s going all-out!" Qin Yu swept his gaze around, a trace of excitement on his face.

It had been a long time since he had fought!

Hovering to his left was Daoist Liu Xu, who held in his hand something resembling a green willow branch; his eyes, too, were a vivid green, making him appear quite peculiar.

To his right in the air, Mei Ji had come to a stop. At this moment, dusky battle armor adorned her body, and her eyes were icy cold, devoid of any trace of her former coquettishness.

Clasping his hands together to grip the broken Wolf Fang Club, Xiong Hei’s biceps bulged impressively, with veins visibly throbbing beneath his skin.

"Heave-ho—"

With a loud shout, Xiong Hei transformed into an afterimage, covering a hundred meters in the blink of an eye to arrive before Qin Yu, the Wolf Fang Club in Residual Snow swinging straight down at him.

At the same moment, attacks from Mei Ji and Daoist Liu Xu descended upon him.

Daoist Liu Xu swiftly released ten supple green willow branches from his hands, binding them directly towards Qin Yu.

As for Mei Ji, she wielded an exceedingly ordinary Upper Grade Divine Artifact longsword and slashed toward Qin Yu.

"Daoist Liu Xu has such a tricky method of attack," Qin Yu exclaimed as he contorted his body strangely, managing to twist nearly twenty centimeters to dodge the blow from the Wolf Fang Club. At the same time, the Red Blood Divine Sword in his hand surged with a crimson sword shadow that filled the air like an illusion—intending to cleave Xiong Hei’s body in two.

Xiong Hei’s eyes instantly bulged.

With a swift change in the trajectory of the Wolf Fang Club, he switched from smashing to blocking, while his body retreated explosively.

"Pfft—" Despite spitting blood in a desperate move to alter the club’s path and despite his retreat... the Red Blood Divine Sword still managed to sever nearly a meter of the Wolf Fang Club and then continued to slash across Xiong Hei’s body.

Luckily, the slight impediment of the Wolf Fang Club saved Xiong Hei’s life. One could see a large gash on his stomach as his intestines were about to spill out.

Xiong Hei’s body surface suddenly thrummed with a green Heavenly Divine Power as it circulated rapidly, ignoring the cost to his divine power. After a moment, his injuries had healed.

Qin Yu inwardly sighed.

If not for the joint assault by Mei Ji and Daoist Liu Xu, he would have been able to seize the opportunity to kill Xiong Hei.

"Eh?" Qin Yu dodged several times, but Daoist Liu Xu’s movement technique proved to be no less inferior than his own. A soft green willow branch wound around Qin Yu’s arm, immobilizing it completely.

At that moment, Qin Yu’s arm could not budge at all.

"What is this?" Qin Yu was shocked as he looked at the green willow branch; Daoist Liu Xu’s attack was too bizarre. Moreover, the toughness and strength of this green willow branch were exceptionally powerful.

At the same time, nine other green willow branches fiercely attacked Qin Yu’s head, seeming to aim at enveloping his skull.

It wasn’t just that. Now Mei Ji herself had joined the fray!

Excitement flashed in the eyes of both Mei Ji and Daoist Liu Xu. Even Xiong Hei, who had retreated to the side to heal his injuries, saw a glimmer of victory.

"You think you can kill me like this?" Qin Yu inwardly sighed, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, white flames burst forth from Qin Yu’s body. The green willow branch that had bound his arm was instantly burned to ashes. Against the White Pure Fire, the green willow branch could not withstand.

The other nine green willow branches aiming for Qin Yu’s head also retreated rapidly!

"I dare you to attack, you wouldn’t dare!" Qin Yu glanced at Daoist Liu Xu. Without paying any attention to Mei Ji’s attack, he chased after Daoist Liu Xu with extreme speed.

First, he would take down Daoist Liu Xu.

Mei Ji pursued Qin Yu, Qin Yu pursued Daoist Liu Xu, and Daoist Liu Xu was fleeing!

"How did playing with fire lead to this extent, White Pure Fire is True Fire within the body, how did he suddenly produce so much?" Daoist Liu Xu couldn’t fathom it.

Qin Yu thought to himself with a smirk, "Daoist Liu Xu, how would you know... that the two weapons I am now using, the most powerful one is the ’Refining Fire Bracelet’." The Red Blood Divine Sword seemed fierce, but was only equivalent to a Third-class Spiritual Treasure. Whereas the ’Refining Fire Bracelet’ was a Second-class Spiritual Treasure.

The moment White Pure Fire emerged, even the body of a Heavenly God Level master couldn’t withstand it.

Watching Daoist Liu Xu flee so quickly and seeing Mei Ji daring to pursue him, Qin Yu couldn’t help but sneer. Without any warning, he abruptly stopped and swung his sword towards the rear!

Sword shadows spread like a curtain, tearing apart the sky!

That Upper Grade Divine Sword was cut in half as easily as tofu, and Mei Ji’s eyes were filled with horror. At this life-or-death moment, Mei Ji’s head jerked violently to the side.

A sword shadow split Mei Ji’s body in two, but fortunately, at the last moment, she turned her head so it wasn’t cleaved open.

Mei Ji’s head fled at high speed and then a large amount of green Heavenly God Power emerged, once again forming a body. Mei Ji’s complexion was extremely pale; the Heavenly God Power consumption of forming a body was too great.

...

The hundreds of thousands of Black Dragon Pond forces below were dumbfounded.

Their own three Heavenly Gods were being beaten so miserably by one person. Xiong Hei had his Heavenly Divine Weapon cut in half and was disemboweled. Mei Ji was severed in two, nearly losing her life. Even Daoist Liu Xu, who seemed to be in the best condition, was chased by Qin Yu to the point of only being able to flee!

Disadvantagous! In an absolutely disadvantaged position.

"No wonder the ’Artisan God’ was so respected in the Divine World; an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact is so powerful that it even allows me, an Upper Level Divine Being without Heavenly God Power, to easily defeat three Lower Heavenly Gods," Qin Yu felt increasingly the respect craftsmen commanded.

But it wasn’t quite as Qin Yu thought.

The reason Qin Yu was able to defeat these three was the assistance from Meteor Tear, which allowed him to control space at a higher level than the three Lower Heavenly Gods. Without the aid of Meteor Tear, even with an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, he couldn’t possibly defeat Lower Heavenly Gods! After all, even an Upper Level Divine Being couldn’t fly!

"Eh?"

Qin Yu was surprised to discover something; Daoist Liu Xu, Mei Ji, and Xiong Hei had no trace of defeatism and were still filled with fighting spirit.

"Could it be they still have some cards up their sleeves?" Qin Yu became vigilant, figuring the three Heavenly Gods would have fled for their lives long ago if they had no more aces.

Xiong Hei, Daoist Liu Xu, and Mei Ji looked at Qin Yu with icy stares.

"Attack!"

With a loud shout from Xiong Hei, as if it was a command, the three of them immediately launched a joint assault on Qin Yu, their eyes filled with cold determination.

"Courting death!" Qin Yu no longer held back, charging forward at extreme speed.

Qin Yu’s charge caused both him and Xiong Hei to rush at each other, which slightly delayed Daoist Liu Xu and Mei Ji.

"Die!" Qin Yu attacked immediately.

Simultaneously, white flames erupted from Qin Yu’s body; he was enveloped in White Pure Fire, completely disregarding the attacks from Daoist Liu Xu and Mei Ji and directly confronting Xiong Hei alone.

But at that moment—

"Pfft!"

An extremely fine sharp hook rapidly pierced into Qin Yu’s body before fleeing away like lightning. However, Qin Yu trembled violently, unable to swing his long sword any longer.

Qin Yu, like a log of wood, plummeted straight down from the sky.

With a "thump!" Qin Yu crashed onto the ground.

Silence!

The hundreds of thousands at Black Dragon Pond watching the battle fell silent, their astonishment palpable. How had Qin Yu, who had been at such an advantage, lost so suddenly?

"Haha––" Xiong Hei’s laughter thundered through the skies, "Haha, Qin Yu, aren’t you still going to die by my hands?"

Xiong Hei swooped down, landing beside Qin Yu. Daoist Liu Xu and the pale-faced Mei Ji also descended.

"Mei Ji, sister, I owe you one this time." Xiong Hei expressed his gratitude, to which the pale-faced Mei Ji shook her head: "No need for words, just now my Poison Soul Hook was scorched by the White Pure Fire for but an instant and it shrank by half. The injuries this time will need at least millions of years of cultivation to recover."

The Poison Soul Hook, Mei Ji’s innate weapon. Mei Ji’s true form was from the scorpion family, specifically the ’Pink Mist Scorpion,’ with the Poison Soul Hook containing toxins; its attack does not target the physical but the soul! When the soul is attacked, one will be in a dazed state for a period of time.

The potency of the Poison Soul Hook was also related to the strength of the Pink Mist Scorpion. The stronger the power, the stronger the Poison Soul Hook.

"Roar––"

"Lord Xiong Hei!" "Lady Mei Ji!" "Lord Xiong Hei!" "Daoist Liu Xu!"... Various cheers continuously erupted, turning the entire canyon of Black Dragon Pond into a roaring ocean of celebration.

The hundreds of thousands at Black Dragon Pond cheered for Xiong Hei, Mei Ji, and Daoist Liu Xu; all three of them had faces filled with smiles, brimming with excitement.

Laughing heartily, Xiong Hei declared, "Haha–– just wait until I kill Qin Yu!" He raised the two-meter long, incomplete Wolf Fang Club in his hand and brought it smashing down toward Qin Yu’s head on the ground!

"Thump!"

Xiong Hei looked at the ground in shock, Qin Yu’s body had suddenly shifted half a meter to the side, and his swing with the club struck the ground instead. At that moment, Qin Yu had already opened his eyes and was smiling faintly at Xiong Hei.

"Xiong Hei, a person shouldn’t be too arrogant." Qin Yu’s divine sense transmitted into Xiong Hei’s mind, and at the same moment, a crimson sword shadow sliced through the air, creating hundreds and thousands of tracks, slashing through Xiong Hei’s body.

At such a close distance, with that many sword shadows!

In just an instant, Xiong Hei was cut into mincemeat, and his Nascent Soul was similarly sliced to pieces, scattering his soul to the winds. As for his True Spirit, it was dispersed with just a shock from Qin Yu’s sword shadow.

In the same moment he drew his sword, Qin Yu’s figure became like the sword itself, whizzing through the space like lightning reaching Daoist Liu Xu’s side.

"Whoosh—" The sword shadow soared.

Daoist Liu Xu flew back, but no matter how fast he retreated, his body was still cleaved from shoulder to bottom half. Daoist Liu Xu’s head fled far away. It was fortunate that Daoist Liu Xu reacted quickly, otherwise his life would also have been over.

Meanwhile, the furthest away, Mei Ji reacted the fastest, fleeing swiftly into the distance.

Mei Ji was seen flying toward the edge of Black Dragon Pond and plummeting rapidly, landing at the edge of the pond. To outsiders, it might have seemed Mei Ji was gravely injured. Yet Mei Ji herself penetrated the surface of Black Dragon Pond with her divine sense and transmitted a message:

"Lord Black Dragon, Xiong Hei has fallen in battle, and I, along with Liu Xu, may lose our lives at any moment, come quickly and save us!"
